I'd like to answer Steve as December 8 is the first time I've seen a comment by him. I think that the poor guy was left out in the cold with everyone siding with Kelly. He needed to get some time off to think. Everything he had invested his life and soul into was going down the tubes. He is lucky he didn't have a heart attack from the exhaustion and stress. And it takes two. Granted, he admits he went crazy for a while but wouldn't you in his place? If they both care about each other, it will work when it is the time. Kelly was hurt as she has a history of being abandoned and thought there was something wrong with her-but there wasn't. Or Steve either. The author wrote a particularly effective economic piece of the way things are right now and business owners are losing their shirts (and sometimes their health and sanity)!

So give these two a little space folks and try to be supportive of them both. Steve is not the enemy here-and neither is Kelly.
